I don't have all of them in Celestia by any means, but this is a sample.

I use a script to turn show them.

Code:

-- Title: Mark Stars with Planets---- Author: Harald Schmidt, 2004-- http://celestia.h-schmidt.net/---- comments, bugreports to: celestia ( at ) h-schmidt.net-- -- You are free to use, copy, modify, redistribute or do whatever you want with this script,-- but a credit to the original author would be nice.--

I had a look at that add-on a while back, it doesn't do the required orbit transforms so the transiting planets will not transit. This is a common problem with exoplanet add-ons for Celestia, e.g. almost all of the exoplanet add-ons on the Celestia Motherlode suffer from this issue.

I'm planning some major upgrades to my Python scripts in the near future, including code to retrieve TYC identifiers so that it can be used together with the Gaia DR1 data.

I would like to delve more into Astrophysics. I have been an amateur astronomer since I was 15, but have no formal education in soace sciences.All of my post secondary education is in Computer Science.

I have purchased Mikhail Marov's The Fundamentals of Modern Astrophysics and have started reading it.

Good to learn about your new interests. You may always discuss things by PM if you prefer. Have you e.g. read this report by Dawoon (aka dirkpitt)? Gravitational Lensing project: an academic success story,just to let you have an idea what sort of things are possible in principle...
